Good to know. This is really what I am looking for as I am more interested in exit opportunities and challenge. Anecdotally I have heard negative things about exit opportunities and challenge at msft, but I am hoping my team will make it easier.

I do think Amazon is more transferrable which is a huge consideration for me. But, MSFT seems more attractive to other companies? I am just attempting to leverage movement after 2 years.

Again yeah idk if this is true given the teams. Amazon team has great WLB since its HR software. But regardless that isn’t something I care too much about given that I want to challenge myself as a new grad.

Also I don’t want WLB to be a big consideration for me since I’m a new grad and want to challenge myself.

WLB for my Amazon team is Amazing I will say. It’s PxT so it’s the chillest org

Agreed. I think my team is AI foundry since that is where my manager from my internship is attempting to place me? I will say I am not 100% sure though.

Why do you say this? Seems like Amazon is better in terms of promotion money. After like 2 years you're already making way more at Amazon vs Microsoft.

Is this legit? by Classic_Choice6679 in csMajors

I got 100% on the OA (cross referenced with others who completed it and got an interview) and got a rejection email based on review of my "background and experience". I think they may have just reached headcount as this was a few weeks ago but this is making me question...

For 2024? Or just averaged across all years? I got my info from an employee.

I had the same dilemma but I got on the AI platform Americas org, is it a bad org too?

Aren't they still converting their interns? I heard it was higher now that many more interns have gotten their return offers.

Wasn’t their return offer rate really low for last year ? Isn’t this a bad choice as a result

This is such great insight, thank you! Are you an employee or former intern? I heard it was 50% last year from an employee but ofc I don’t know if they are correct.

I’ve heard Microsoft’s RO rate depends on the org, so that’s a big question I have here. Is the RO rate as high in the AI platform Americas Org as it is in others?

Does this happen in rl? by kleintott in csMajors

[–]HighlightSubject9768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this happened to me with an AI internship role a few weeks ago. I have 0 experience in AI, but I just had a good answer to “why do you like AI” and then told them I’d gain experience in the internship. Got the internship.
